This Oracle tutorial explains how to use the Oracle/PLSQL LPAD function with syntax and examples. The Oracle/PLSQL LPAD function pads the left-side of a string with a specific set of characters (when string1 is not null). The syntax for the LPAD function in Oracle/PLSQL is:
The Ides of March is a phrase derived from the Latin idus, a term marking the 15th day of March, July and October as well as the 13th day of other months in the Roman calendar year, and the Latin martii, âMarch,â which is derived from the Latin Mars, the Roman god of war.
In ancient Rome, the Ides of March were equivalent to our March 15th. If youâve heard of the Ides of March, itâs probably thanks to William Shakespeare. In his play Julius Caesar, a soothsayer â or fortune teller â says to Caesar: Beware the Ides of March. In the play â and in reality â Julius Caesar was indeed assassinated on the ides of March â March 15 â in the year 44 B.C. In the ancient Roman calendar, each month had an Ides. In March, May, July, and October, the Ides fell on the 15th day. In every other month, the Ides fell on the 13th.
